(An excerpt from a post originally appearing at Gregor.us)

In Seven States of Energy Debt I added an energy-twist to the current comparisons between fiscally troubled European countries like Greece and Portugal, and their counterparts in the US such as California, Illinois, and Florida. In addition to high rates of unemployment, a number of US states are also significant energy importers or worse have virtually no energy production at all, from which to draw steady revenue. But what about the other side of that equation? What about US states whose energy production well exceeds their energy-using populations? Yesterday I had a good conversation about this issue with Rich Blake, a journalist from ABC News, and I found myself thinking about Colorado.
